Estimating the term…
The present invention comprises methods for making compositions derived from Ilex species, particularly Ilex paraguariensis, having lowered caffeine and tannin concentrations, compositions made by such methods, oral delivery formulations, and methods of use of such compositions. In particular, the present invention comprises methods for making maté compositions that have a predetermined characeteristic, such as a lowered amount of caffeine, elevated amounts of caffeoyls, and/or lowered amounts of tannin compounds compared to the native maté plant materials. Further, the invention comprises methods of additional processing steps tp produce compositions having a predetermined alkaloid ratio or profiles to meet particular considerations for final products. The compositions of the present invention may be processed for specific uses such as tablets or other oral delivery vehicles. These compositions may be used in methods for treatment of physiological and medical conditions.
A method for making a maté composition having at least one predetermined characteristic, comprising, extracting native maté plant material using supercritical CO2 conditions to obtain a maté composition comprising at least one at level one predetermined characteristic.
A maté composition, comprising, extracted maté plant material having at least one predetermined characteristic.
A method of treating human conditions, comprising, administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a maté composition comprising extracted maté plant material having at least one predetermined characteristic, and wherein the human conditions are weight reduction, enhancement of cognition, mental focus, memory, physical/mental energy, and sense of well-being;
